airquality_vignette

Welcome to the airquality package. This package uses various data from the .

It includes various functions that help you to get an overview about the airquality in any town. You can:

retrieve the current airquality index and airquality subcomponents
plot the airquality index and concentration of air quality components for the past two weeks
retrieve and compare the airquality index of the ten biggest European cities
get the current weather data

In the following, each function is explained in detail and examples are provided.

How to Install the Airquality Package

#github_install can only be added when the week 3 branch is merged
#install_github('Programming-The-Next-Step-2022/airquality')

Current Airquality Data (data frame)

This function takes the city and country (use ISO 3166 country codes) of interest as arguments. It outputs a data frame containing the:

Air Quality Index (AQI)
- the aqi ranges from 1 = good to 5 = very Poor
Carbon monoxide concentration (CO)
Nitrogen monoxide concentration (NO)
Nitrogen dioxide concentration (NO2)
Ozone concentration (O3)
Sulphur dioxide concentration (SO2)
Particulates concentration (PM2_5 and PM_10)
Ammonia concentration (NH3)

current_aq_df("Amsterdam", "NL")

##   Component Index / Concentration
## 1       AQI                  2.00
## 2        CO                350.48
## 3        NO                 58.12
## 4       NO2                 56.21
## 5        O3                  0.00
## 6       SO2                  3.58
## 7     PM2_5                  4.41
## 8     PM_10                  6.43
## 9       NH3                 14.06

To display the output to users in a nicer way, you can use the gt::gt() function

gt(current_aq_df())

Component	Index / Concentration
AQI	2.00
CO	350.48
NO	58.12
NO2	56.21
O3	0.00
SO2	3.58
PM2_5	4.41
PM_10	6.43
NH3	14.06

Plotting the AQI for the past two weeks

This function takes the city and country (use ISO 3166 country codes) of interest as arguments. It outputs a plot showing the average AQI per day over the last two weeks.

plot_aqi_hist("Paris", "FRA")

Plotting Air Quality Subcomponents for the Past two Weeks

This function takes the city, the country (use ISO 3166 country codes), and the desired subcomponent (e.g., co) as arguments. It outputs a plot showing the average concentration of for example carbon monoxide over the last two weeks.

plot_comp_hist("Rome", "ITA", "co")

Current AQI of the 10 largest European Cities

This function shows the current AQI in the ten largest European cities. The values are colored according the AQI.
